Popis: Sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) and lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) are well characterized bioactive phospholipids with migratory and proliferative effects in cancer progression. Recent studies show that the enzyme responsible for production of S1P, sphingosine kinase (SK), is upregulated in a variety of cancers, S1P is a tumorigenic growth factor, and there is an association between S1P levels in cancer patients and their resulting clinical outcomes. Similarly, LPA has been shown to drive angiogenesis and tumor invasion. LPA receptors and the LPA synthesizing enzyme autotaxin (ATX) have also been shown to be abnormally expressed in at least ovarian and breast tumors. S1P, SK, LPA, and ATX therefore represent potential biomarkers for the detection and staging of cancer. We have now characterized anti-S1P and anti-LPA antibodies for basic immunochemical methods in cells and ovary tissue. These antibodies were previously developed as anti-cancer immunotherapeutic agents. Here we highlight the potential for these reagents as bonafide cancer biomarkers for S1P and LPA.
